    Chris....Thanks for your feedback. On the specs question, I included pool and spa dimensions, equipment, construction info, etc in the PDF. Is there other information that would be common in a bid? On the contract, you are certainly correct. I think we will have to get much more detail for...

    Thank you. We are thinking about a swivel TV near/on the middle post on the patio so that we can see it from back patio or turn around to watch from hot tub or pool at night. We did ask about depth with both builders. It is water depth. And I like the idea of 4' over 3.5'. We do want to...

    We have gotten a couple of bids for a new pool. We have not fully decided which we will choose or even if we will build right now (prices are insane). I've learned so much on this forum, I was hoping that some of you can take a look at these two different designs. I included diagram and pic...
